Predictable Citizen quality. Flawless operation. My second Citizen and just as happy with this one as with my initial purchase.
Let's get this out of the way first, it is a great watch. Amazing looking and very very comfortable> Ridiculously accurate time keeping. This is the only quartz piece in my collection. For a mechanical lover, I can truly appreciate this time piece. HOWEVER, the lug width choice of the what like many other citizens out there means that you either have to squeeze a 24mm in or have a not snuggly fit 22mm. Other than that I can't really think of anything else to say about the watch.
Have had this watch for nine months, and it has become my favorite. Looks great, syncs reliably with the atomic clock, and the adjustable quick release leather strap works very well and keeps the weight down compared to metal straps.
Great combination of a rose gold case and a leather strap. Chronograph function and date add value and function to this style.
This watch combines Eco-Drive reliability and precise satellite controlled time with a stunning look. Only negatives that I’ve noticed after 10 days are 1) the hands can be difficult to see under low lighting, 2) the hands lack phosphorescence for telling time in the dark, and 3) the adjustment crown is slick, making it difficult on occasion to pull out the crown.
Certainly there is nothing wrong with a Citizen watch, how it operates or ease of programming it. My only regret is that I didn't shop for this piece in a brick and mortar store. It looks a wee bit too tame for my needs. While it give measurements you just cant get the visual unless it is held in your hand in my opinion. Something this price deserves a non-hurried buying experience. The strap is more like the clasp on a stainless steel watch and it is easy to modify for fit.
I got guse bumps when it arrived. To bad they sell pocket watches.
